1 Kings 16:32-34
New Catholic Bible
32 He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria. 33 Ahab also set up an Asherah, and Ahab did more to provoke the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than all of the kings of Israel who preceded him.
34 During his time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundation over Abiram, his eldest, and he built its gates over Segub, his youngest. This was just as the word of the Lord had foretold through Joshua, the son of Nun.[a]
